The Leader of the Opposition, Ro Teimumu Kepa said her nomination for Biman Prasad to chair the Public Accounts Committee will not be changed although the government side is raising concerns about his public comments.
Ro Teimumu has called on the Secretary General, Viniana Namosimalua to convene the Public Accounts Committee as soon as possible as many Auditor General’s Reports have to be scrutinised.
The meeting did not go ahead this morning as scheduled as the government side of the Public Accounts Committee raised concerns about Biman Prasad’s comments on the Auditor General’s Reports before the committee sittings.
Ro Teimumu said their stand remains that Prasad has been appointed by the Speaker of Parliament, Doctor Jiko Luveni and the meeting should go ahead.
